  <completion_benefit>The save DCs for any spells you create increase by 1 when you cast them. In addition, when applying metamagic feats to self-created spells, reduce the total level adjustment by 1. You cant reduce metamagic costs to lower than the spells original level in this manner. Special For a self-created spell to benef it from this feat, it must be a truly novel spell. Spells slightly altered from the original (for example, delayed blast fireball as compared to fireball) gain no benef it. Alchemists can benef it from this feat as though their formulae and extracts were spells.</completion_benefit>
